# Google Webmaster Tools 404 URL errors

 * Google crawled my site and listed every media category URL as a broken link (
   404) error.
 * Now I tried checking the links and I **can** see them when I’m logged in – but
   I can’t seem them when logged out.
 * Is there a way to make these URLs publicly available so Google and other search
   engines can see and list them properly?
    Or otherwise hide the URLs so Google
   and other search engines don’t even crawl them at all?
 * Either solution would be ok for me.
 * Thanks for any help.
 * Here a sample URL:
 * [http://www.thesandyfeet.com/media_category/yosemite/page/2/](http://www.thesandyfeet.com/media_category/yosemite/page/2/)
